New Track! Pieces Of Me – Jake Aldridge

Jake Aldridge

After ten years in the business, JAKE ALDRIDGE has just released his ‘best work yet’, Pieces Of Me, featuring long-time friend and vocalist Kelly Jenns.

2015 has been a busy year for the Suffolk-based R&B/hip-hop artist. The 27-year-old has seen his music video for previous single, Give You The World, which was filmed in Spain, go to number one on the VTYO video charts.

He has signed a publishing deal with Leopard Music, a synchronization deal with Go DIY Records and also secured a sponsorship deal with Asian-based RudeBoy Clothing Line. The smooth operator also became the first artist outside of the US to win a feature competition hosted by music blog, Daily Hip Hop Jamz, receiving more votes than anyone else.

Known for his heartfelt delivery over smooth rhythms, Jake’s music career came unexpectedly after losing his father at just 11 years old and eventually turned to his diary as a way to cope with his grief. He started out with a £12 microphone and a pop shield made from a sock.

Judging from his impressive CV, he’s come a very long way! Pieces Of Me is available via iTunes.

Upcoming Release: Come My Way – Benjamin AD

Come My Way Benjamin AD

Self-proclaimed ‘rhythmic philosopher’ BENJAMIN AD shares more of his alternative hip-hop beats with the first in a series of monthly singles, Come My Way, set for release on 6th November.

The poignant yet catchy track (produced by critically acclaimed Junia T, who worked with Benjamin on his debut  acclaimed release, Monster’s Ball) details the difficulties the South London rapper  has encountered on his musical journey and the “mental demons” that have followed him.

Benjamin explains: “This track is about needing to grow constantly, summarising the whole life process with ‘we’re all children no matter how old’. I feel no matter what age we’re at we have growing to do, learning to do, regardless of our social/societal standing.”

Go on, check out Come My Way.

Song of the Day: Caught Up – Jairod

Let’s start Friday off on a cool tip with today’s track Caught Up by JAIROD. The single is taken from his album, Night And Day, released in August.

The R&B singer/songwriter/producer began cultivating his musical ear at the age of seven, composing basic melodies on his grandmother’s antique piano. His well-developed craft is often compared to R&B singers Brian and Brandon Casey of Jagged Edge, Tank, and John Legend.

Despite the comparisons, the Alabama-born newcomer  strives to be an original, incorporating both old school and contemporary music of all genres to produce his own unique representation of R&B. His writing generally consists of an artistic display of personal experiences, thoughts and emotions that’s relatable,  providing his take on love, heartbreak, and life.

Night And Day is available via Amazon.
